constant urge to urinate and pressure in rectum

I have had a constant pressure in rectum for the past month. i have no blood in my stool, i have what seems to be a normal stool. 2 -3 times a day but the pressure just doesnt go away, although it does reside sometimes. this bothers me alot i cant even go through my day without constantly thinking about it. i also have another very strange sensation that started 2 weeks ago. i have a constant urge to urinate also. Usually which ever one is worst is the one i feel the most but they are still both there. I went to my doctor and had a full blood count done and a full physical. She tells me it should go away but it has been so long and nothing is getting better. I am only 21 years old and shouldnt be having all these problems. I took cipro for 14 days for an infection and my doctor thinks this may have contributed to the pressure in my rectum becausae all my good bacteria got stripped. It just doesnt sound right to me. I am currently taking a 24 hour pee test where i pee in a bag for 24 hours. please help i really dont know if i should go see a gi and or a uroligist.

I read the post from benzo and am having the same issues. The funny thing is that I also took Cipro for what was believed to be a bladder infection although there was no evidence of an infection in the urine sample. Ever since the Cipro, however, I have had intestinal issues that appear to be like IBS, I have developed hemmoroids, and I have this acidic taste in my mouth. It's very frustrating to say the least. I am going for a sigmoidoscopy on Monday to check things out.

Anyone figure out what it could be?
